À¦°óSMÉçÇø

All students are assigned a À¦°óSMÉçÇø Email Address (usually in the form of firstname.lastname@mail.mcgill.ca) and are given a À¦°óSMÉçÇø email mailbox. You can view your À¦°óSMÉçÇø Email Address and set your À¦°óSMÉçÇø Password on Minerva (www.mcgill.ca/minerva), under the Personal Menu.

Email sent to your À¦°óSMÉçÇø Email Address is an official means of communication between À¦°óSMÉçÇø and its students. As with all official University communications, it is your responsibility to ensure you read and act upon University emails in a timely fashion. If you choose to forward University email to another email mailbox, it is your responsibility to ensure that the alternate email mailbox is valid.

You should read and familiarize yourself with the policies on Responsible Use of À¦°óSMÉçÇø Information Technology Resources and Email Communications with Students, found under Information Technology on the University Secretariat website at www.mcgill.ca/secretariat/policies/informationtechnology. For more information on email for students, refer to www.mcgill.ca/it and see For your Information Technology (IT) Needs.
